Christian-Democrat Party Requests Abolishment of 500 Votes of Military Servants

Christian-Democrat Party requests to annul the election results in the so-called closed polling station # 87 in Rustavi where military servants voted. The motive of their request is the fact that voters were not registered in Rustavi.

The Human Rights Center really discovered this violation during the municipal elections on May 30 at the closed polling station # 87 in Rustavi (in prison # 2). The military servants and civil personnel of the prison voted there. We were not allowed to enter the polling station for a long time and entered there only 10 minutes before the precinct closed. We found out that the military servants from various regions of Georgia voted for the single mandate candidate of Rustavi.

“Those votes shall be abolished by all means. The protocol on counting the votes, where the National Movement is winner, is illegal,” said the head of the Rustavi office of the Christian Democrat Party Aleko Akhvlediani.

The observer of the Human Rights Center took photos of the registration journal at the so-called polling station # 87 in Rustavi. 512 out of registered 580 voters had already voted. The residential places of the citizens were various villages and Samtskhe-Javakheti region.
